Lifestyle and personal factors associated with having macroscopic residual disease after ovarian cancer primary cytoreductive surgery

If this or the parity finding is replicated, these factors could be included in risk stratification models to determine whether HGSC patients should receive PCS or neoadjuvant chemotherapy.PMID:36401943 | DOI:10.1016/j.ygyno.2022.10.018
